She put the last sandwich in her 6 years old son's backpack, zipped it up, and opened fire escape. "Faster, children, faster!" She didn't want to leave through the main door and risk facing him. And she already heard a buzz. "Faster, dear, faster, don't be afraid!" She took the last look at the apartment, climbed out, and closed the window after herself. It would be still obvious for anyone how they ran. But they did, and the rest didn't matter.
She thought of changing locks, but they didn't have time for it; plus, it may be illegal for her to lock him out. But she couldn't face him even for 5 more minutes. Now they will run to her friend and stay there for several months, hopefully not the whole year. She will immediately put in application for a new apartment in the same complex. They may say: "You already have an apartment, why do you need another?" And she will have to explain, that she left, that it's really him who now lives there. But how to prove? Her name is on all papers. But she will figure something. They were already running on the street.
Meanwhile, he buzzed again. "Darn, where is my key..." He smelled expensive perfume, but very lightly: he waved and shook his jacket for 3 minues before entering the door. Empty. Very strange. "Where is my old ball and chain? and 2 other smaller balls? I hope she at least prepared lunch for me. Well, I am not really hungry anyway. Hmm... where are they, it's kinda late! I should start coming a bit earlier, or she may get suspicious. At least she is not here to give me dirty looks, that's good. Who cares where she is, I am here, and I will go sleep."
In the morning. "Great. She is not here. She's teaching me a lesson or something. Crazy old ball and chain. Wait, fire escape is open! Shit... what a psycho! She left and took kids?!.."
After work he went to see his buddies. His current interest, beautiful Tara, wasn't there yet. Jason poured beer in his cup.
- I guess your psycho bitch is finally out of your life. Congratulations!
- Allow me the first toast: to Steve's new freedom! - Jim joined in. Other buddies were already there.
- She whipped him like no joke! You know what she made him do? You won't believe it! No, it's just too fucking whipped. She made him wash dishes. Manually! I saw it once. Isn't it true, Steve?
- Well, the dishwasher was broken...
- Ah, whipped man you are! You should have left the darn dishes, show her who is the man in the house! If she can't deal with real man, let her leave, this feminazi!
- And now? Just because you slept once with Tara, she breaks marriage and takes children? What a posessive psycho! Man, I told you she's bad news and marriage is a female ploy to control you. But you didn't listen to me, and wasted years for this bs.
- But I loved her.
- Yeah, that's what my brother said before his wife ran away with 1/2 of his assets. He was nothing but wonderful to her. He brought her to America, never beat her, allowed her to use his stereo and everything in the house. And then she started complaining in her fucking broken English: "Aron, you treat me like a maid." Aron this, Aron that... Aron made her visa! Aron brought her here from that shithole of Ukraine! Aron kept her at his expense! Aron never raised his hand on her! but nothing is enough for these shrews. Give them a finger, they will bite your hand out! After they arrive here, they become just like american in no time. And then again, need to go through the whole process again. What a hassle.
- So, folks, Steve is free. Man... life of sweet freedom. Steve, how did your psycho found out? I bet she followed you like a hound. These psychos have no respect. You should have told her from day one, no matter what, she MUST respect your privacy!
- She said, there should be no secrets between wife and husband, she said my privacy is her privacy, we are one.
- Man! She brainwashed you! "we are one". Whatever else her sick mind tells her! Invasive posessive psycho. Woooh! finally you're free of that. If she weren't psycho, you would have told her about Tara, but knowing how she is, obviously she's going to be mad like that. You still come home to her (most of the time, hahaha), you put money in the joint account, what else does she want?
- These women demand stictly monomano-.... momolamo-... monogamous, yeah monogamous! relations, - Tom said, who was more on intellectual side.
- Monogamous my ass, stupid bitch! We are men! We need to explore and spread the love, hahaha!
- Clearly she doesn't know how women in the world live. Look at Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan. That's where women know their respect for men.
- They still can't change tires. Hahahhaa!
- But at least they keep their psycho sides under control.
- That's actually a great idea, we should buy women... from Russia, Philippines, Mexico...
- Man, I told you about Aron, my brother. These women change after even couple months here.
- Then will exchange again. 1 year money back guarantee or something like that.
- Folks, back to Steve. The psycho will probably try to sue him for child support or whatever else this feminazi system gives her.
- I think Tom knows a lawyer.
- Yeah, Steve, this guy is a total shark. Here is his card. Your wife will be paying you to leave her alone, hehe. Threaten to take kids away. Works like a charm. Anyway, talk to this fellow.
- Thanks, Tom.
Looks like he was going to win again. But his joy was not complete: he realized, he was drinking wrong brand of beer.
